Darrell Anderson is a Denver fine arts artist whose talent is rapidly becoming recognized not only on the local level, but also nationally and internationally. His work poignantly depicts the beauty and spirit of creations in progress. He enhances this spirit in his art through the use of rich colors as seen in his New Orleans Jazz musicians, Paris street scenes, captivating children's faces, and mosaic creations. Colette Pitcher graduated from UNC in 1981 with a degree in Fine Art. She moved to New York and finished a MBA from University of Long Island, while working full time as a graphic designer in Manhattan and White Plains. Colette is a master of many artistic mediums with her Public art sculptures placed in Grand Junction, Evergreen, Carbondale, and Greeley. Ms. Pitcher has won frequent recognition for her drawings, watercolors, and oil paintings as well as having authored books and numerous articles concerning art. The judge for the show will be Felipe Echevarria from Fort Collins. Mr. Echevarria’s painting and drawing experience is highly eclectic with his works being displayed in group and two-person shows. He has taught painting, figure drawing, and sequential art classes for a number of commercial and fine art institutions. Mr. Echevarria’s fine art is in collections across the United States, Western Europe and Canada. Please take time to view this wonderful show.
